High-Protein Breakfast Pizza
A fun, speedy twist on pizza that’s perfect for breakfast! This egg-tortilla “crust” is topped with marinara, sausage, and melty mozzarella for a satisfying, balanced start to your day.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten (or 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 whole-grain tortilla, about 8-inches
- ¼ cup marinara sauce
- 2 poultry breakfast sausage links, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
- ¼ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Liberally coat a 10-inch skillet with oil spray and warm over medium heat. Add the eggs, tilting the skillet to evenly distribute them over the bottom of the hot pan.
- Place the tortilla on top of the eggs and let the eggs cook and firm, about 2 minutes. If the tortilla’s edges curl up, press them down into the egg with your spatula.
- Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the egg-and-tortilla over. Spread the sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle on the cheese. Add on the sausage pieces.
- Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to quickly melt. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate. Garnish with fresh basil and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Slice into “pizza” triangles and enjoy!
